SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables a standalone, read-only verification pass for a CTOX slice by gathering evidence strictly from the runtime store, workspace under review, and live surfaces, avoiding reliance on executor-provided context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standalone, read-only verification across runtime state, tickets, and public surfaces.
  • Evidence gathering from runtime/ctox.sqlite3, workspace under review, and live URLs to assess mission alignment, done gates, and claims.
  • Output a structured verdict with identified open items, supporting evidence, and a handoff path for continuation if needed.

Quick Start

Initiate an external-review run on the target CTOX slice using local runtime state and live surfaces for evidence gathering.

FAQPage Schema
What is read-only CTOX slice verification?

Read-only CTOX slice verification is a standalone review process that gathers evidence strictly from runtime stores, workspaces, and live surfaces to assess mission state and done gates without altering data.

How do I verify mission state and done gates using runtime sqlite?

You can verify mission state and done gates by running an external review that extracts evidence from runtime/ctox.sqlite3 and live URLs, outputting a structured verdict with open items and supporting evidence.

Can I assess public-surface quality without relying on executor-provided context?

Yes, you can assess public-surface quality independently by gathering evidence directly from live URLs and durable workspace sources, strictly avoiding any context provided by the executor during the review.

Does this standalone review process require write access to the workspace?

No, this standalone review process enforces a strict read-only workflow, requiring only durable sources and read-only inspection to evaluate claims and generate a documented verdict without modifying the workspace.

What is the best way to document a verdict with open items for a CTOX slice?

The best way to document a verdict is to use a strict review workflow that outputs identified open items, supporting evidence, and a structured handoff path for continuation if needed.
